Harlan's Battle Armour
After shooting himself in the foot, and finally accepting his employers propensity for throwing him into warzones he was totally unequipped for, Harlan took it upon himself (and so, on those lower ranked than he) to put together a suit of armour that would protect him from gosh darn near everything that might come his way. The result was a heavy, scrappy bit of kit that'd shrug off plenty of bolts if push came to shove.

Legal. As legal any kind of armour is, anyhow.

Personal armour for Harlan, give him something that felt appropriately scrappy for his character.

Functions
Function 1: Thermal Undersuit
- Thermal undersuits wick away or reflect thermal energy for brief periods of time. They are not nearly as effective as a suit that firefighters would wear. Most commonly used to protect soldiers from flamethrower weapons or short bursts of extreme heat, and are only good for 1-2 posts of exposure depending on intensity. They are useless against blasters.
- Grapple lines are capable of supporting the weight of 1-2 people and can launch up to ranges typically up to 15 meters away. Once no longer in use, they are detached from the launcher and left behind. While hand-held grapple guns are capable of auto-winching, armor or wrist mounted devices lack this ability. Grapple lines must be manually activated and controlled by a button or switch.
- Magnetic boots contain electromagnets in the soles and allow for enhanced movement on ferrous surfaces in microgravity or steep gradients. This functionality must be turned on or off manually by a button or switch.
